As night fell, 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Right Route Army set up camp outside the Daoer Valley. There are many banners, and the barracks are continuous, and the real and false hide the killing machine.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the general Xue Song sat in the middle, rubbing his forehead and looking ugly.

The commanders of the battalions and other senior generals gathered together to summarize and analyze the current battle situation.

The 3,000 soldiers and horses of the forward battalion were actually a decoy, deliberately half a distance away from most of the Chinese army, but if the enemy dared to attack, the 8,000 cavalry in the Chinese army would be able to rush to the aid in half an hour. If the enemy does not dare to move, the forward battalion will continue to advance and approach the city of Caozhou, and I don't believe that the rebels will be shrunken turtles.

The rebels really made a move, but the result of this move gave the battalion leaders a headache.

The 6,000 light cavalry of the Yunzhou rebels attacked the Chinese army camp where Xue Song was located from the northeast, which angered Xue Song and ordered the total annihilation of the enemy army. But the 6,000 enemy horsemen did not love to fight, and rushed to kill for a few rounds, rushing out before being surrounded, and then turned around and fled.

The rebel army of 6,000 dared to sneak attack his Chinese army of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, which made Xue Song think that he was despised, and he was furious and ordered the army to pursue, vowing to annihilate the enemy's 6,000 cavalry, all of which let the forward battalion of Xue Yulong, who had forgotten his eldest son, lure the enemy in front.

Fortunately, Xue Yufeng was worried about his brother and reminded Xue Song before he led his five hundred cavalry to gallop to the mouth, and heard the sound of killing in the valley from a distance.

In the two battles, it seemed that the right army had the upper hand, but in fact it was a dumb man eating Coptis chinensis.

The Chinese army of 20,000 soldiers and horses pursued 6,000 enemy cavalry, but was blocked by a large number of civilians behind the valley. Worried about accidentally injuring the people, Xue Song could only order a halt to the army, and watched as the 6,000 enemy cavalry fled away.

From the mouths of these people, they were driven here early this morning, and it was clear that the rebels were using them to escape the pursuit.

The forward battalion killed hundreds of enemy soldiers, but its own losses were ...... It's also hard to speak.

It was common for the two armies to suffer mutual damage in battle, but all the fireheads of the forward battalion were slaughtered, which not only made Xue Yulong angry, but even the generals of the other battalions were worried.

The role of the firehead army in the war cannot be directly reflected in many cases. They have little direct contact with the enemy, and they rarely go into battle to kill the enemy, but they are an indispensable part of an army.

On the march, fighting, regular training, and night patrols of the camp, the officers and men in the army are under both physical and mental pressure. In addition to the personal charm of the leading generals and the encouragement to boost morale, it is the delicious meal that the firehead army makes every day.

Especially now in early winter, the quality of food in the army plays an important role in the combat effectiveness of soldiers. If it was still in Henan, it would be possible to forcibly recruit cooks from the surrounding counties to supplement the firehead battalions, but now that the army has entered Shandong and stationed in Caozhou, which is occupied by the rebels, not to mention that it is difficult to recruit cooks, even if he could, Xue Song would not dare to recruit them.

In case a rebel army sneaks in and makes some moves in the meal, the entire Right Army will be finished without fighting.

How to solve the problem of the rebels turning to the head of each battalion has become a serious problem faced by Xue Song and his generals. It has been discussed for a long time, but it has not been able to come up with a solution.

Seeing that it was not early, he ordered the generals to return to the camp for rectification, and at the same time strengthened the vigilance, Xue Song left his eldest son Xue Yulong behind.

"Jade Dragon, come here." Seeing that there were no outsiders in the big tent, Xue Song beckoned from Xue Yulong.

"Dad, what else do you have to tell the child?"

Xue Yulong didn't doubt him, and came to Xue Song's side respectfully, who knew that the latter jumped up from the chair with a slap, first slapped Xue Yulong's head, turned it around, and then kicked Xue Yulong's buttocks and kicked him away.

"You useless thing! Lao Tzu asked you to open the way in front of your head to attract the enemy, but you are good, and you actually sent the entire forward battalion of the firehead army to the enemy to kill! Lao Tzu asks you, before entering the valley, have you ever explored the valley? ”

Xue Yulong rubbed his head and buttocks with an aggrieved face, and replied in a low voice: "The child sent someone to check, and there are indeed no ambushes in the valley." ”

"No ambushes? The enemy who killed the Gunhead fell from the sky! ”

Xue Yulong also knew the preciousness of the Huotou Army. Just like when the account was raised, Xue Song ordered that each of them should be transferred to the forward battalion to replenish the firehead army, although those generals did not dare to refuse, but their faces were not good-looking.

When Bai Yueli passed through Dao'erkou, he was also worried that there was an enemy ambush in the valley, so he specially sent people into the valley to inspect it, and broke up the forward battalion and passed in batches, all of which were ambushes, so he thought that the most likely ambush came from outside the valley mouth of Dao Ergu, so he formed a formation at the valley mouth and waited for all the soldiers and horses to pass.

As a result, the firehead army, which was at the end, was ambushed and almost all of them were killed...... Almost? Xue Yulong suddenly remembered that Yuezi had survived two firehead troops.

"Dad, not all of the fireheads in the children's camp were killed, but two of them were alive!"

"Two?" Xue Song was even more angry when he heard this, and kicked it again, "You still have the face to say, the remaining two hundred people are dead!" ”

Xue Yulong hurriedly dodged, and when he saw that Xue Song was still chasing after him, he hurriedly said: "Dad, listen to me, those two firehead armies are not simple, can you listen to me!" ”

When he shouted, Xue Song really stopped: "Rebel, you say, if you can't satisfy Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will have to swell your belly today!" ”

"Those two fireheads can supply food for five hundred soldiers, not for one day, but for several days in a row!"

"Five hundred? How many days on a row? Xue Song's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a moment, "Have you ever lied to Lao Tzu?" ”

"How dare the child lie to his father, you have also seen those two fire-headed military fathers."

After thinking for a moment again, Xue Song asked, "Are those two?" ”

For some reason, the Xue family is more interested in the Huotou Army, especially the Huotou Army of the Qianfeng Battalion. So after more than a month, Xue Song still remembers Yang Ping'an and An Lushan.

"Yes, that's the two!" Noticing the change in his father's tone and expression, Xue Yulong's heart was slightly relaxed.

Xue Song's eyes flickered again, and his brows gradually furrowed: "The two hundred firehead troops in your camp were all wiped out, why were the two of them spared?" ”

Xue Yulong's face changed again, and he hurriedly explained: "Dad, the child also suspects that the two of them are sent by the enemy. ”

"Bastard!" Xue Song slapped him again, "If the two of them are really annihilated, none of your three thousand forward battalions will survive!" Go, bring those two to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will ask him personally! ”

Xue Yulong didn't dare to slack off, turned around and walked out of the big tent, and came back a quarter of an hour later, followed by An Lushan, who was shrunken and lowered his ears and eyebrows, and limped into the big tent.

"See General Xue."

"Phew!" Xue Song shouted, his eyes were round and his beard stood upside down, "You Hu man, today you are said to be in a battle at Dao'erkou, and the two hundred firehead troops were killed, but you were spared, say, are you the enemy annihilated!" ”

"Wronged!" An Lushan was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a puff, "General, the villain is by no means annihilated, the villain is also injured, and the villain also followed General Xue Nu to fight with the rebels and was injured!" ”

Xue Song was silent, Xue Yulong didn't dare to interject, and the entire camp instantly became solemn and silent, making An Lushan, who was kneeling on the ground, tremble, sweating in the cold winter.

After a while, Xue Song asked again: "General Ben, let's believe you first, and you can tell me how you saved your surname." If you dare to have half a lie, this general will definitely ask you for a dog's head and pay tribute to the soldiers who died today! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" An Lushan wiped the sweat that couldn't be wiped clean, and recalled while talking intermittently, and explained everything that happened today, even the details.

Yang Ping'an prevented him from clashing with the firehead general Xie Ming, and took the initiative to carry the marching iron pot; Outside the valley, he was worried about the ambush in the valley, and beat Xie Ming violently, saying that the rebels were hiding in a cave and ambushing half of their waists; Hide under the pot in the face of the rain of arrows; Help Xue Yufeng resist and retreat to the rebels in the valley......

Listening to An Lushan's narration, Xue Yulong's face gradually became ugly. A problem that the Tiger Head Army can think of, he, the commander of the forward battalion, can't even think of it. I blamed myself deeply in my heart, but I hoped that Xue Song could kick him twice.

But Xue Song didn't have the heart to think about him, as An Lushan narrated, his eyes gradually lit up, and he kept thinking about the name Yang Ping'an in his mind, and finally asked: "I heard that you and him have been responsible for the entire monthly work, providing five hundred soldiers and horses for food, but is there such a thing?" ”

An Lushan's face trembled twice, and he said the matter: "...... Actually, we were only in charge of one meal and three meals, and the rest of the chores were left aside. ”

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Because he was too nervous, An Lushan was an old man, and two muddy farts sounded in the big tent, and the father and son of the Xue family were beside him.

"Fuck you!" Xue Song was so smoked that he scolded his mother, endured the stench, and grabbed An Lushan, "Then where is Yang Ping'an!" ”

"The villain, the villain doesn't know!"

"Useless stuff!" kicked An Fat Man down, Xue Song strode out of the tent, took a big breath of fresh air, looked at Xue Yulong who followed behind him, and asked: "Didn't you let you go and lift people, why did you only see this farting fat man and not Yang Ping'an!" “

Xue Yulong hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Dad, then Yang Ping'an was asked to go by the sister first." ”

Just when the father and son of the Xue family were interrogating An Lushan, Yang Ping'an was also facing interrogation and interrogation by Xue Yufeng. The way of interrogation was even more cruel, just the question of the interrogation, but it made him cry and laugh.

In Xue Yufeng's big tent, there was a wooden stake erected on the left side, and Yang Ping'an was trapped on it. Xue Yufeng stood in front of Yang Ping'an with one hand on his waist and a leather whip in the other, and asked sharply: "Little thief, say, when did you sneak into your aunt's tent!" How to steal your aunt's close-fitting embroidered handkerchief! ”

"I don't have ......"

"Dare to quibble!" Xue Yufeng whipped a whip in the empty space next to Yang Ping'an, and the leather whip broke through the air and made an explosion sound, "Grandma will ask you one last time, if you don't answer again, the next whip will make your skin open!" ”

Didn't you leave that piece of handkerchief by the river? I'm just kind enough to put it away for you! Nima, good people can't do it!

Yang Ping'an was about to be driven crazy by the woman in front of him, and stared at Xue Yufeng with the eyes of a monster for a long time, he shook his head and said, "General Xue, I can't tell you clearly, if you let me grill two fish, maybe you can remember." ”
